Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Jamie Spencer moved two steps closer to regaining the jockeys' title as he extended his lead over Seb Sanders to seven with a double at Kempton yesterday.

"You can never really say it's over, but if I have a double-figure lead with a week to go I won't be taking it easy, but I will be hard to catch," he said. "I'd rather be chased than be chasing."
There was a welcome change of fortune for Aidan O'Brien at Leopardstown when Jupiter Pluvius maintained his unbeaten record in the Killavullan Stakes to earn quotes of 14-1 for next year's 2,000 Guineas.
After the death of George Washington in the Breeders' Cup Classic and the news that Scorpion may be forced to miss next week's Melbourne Cup, the victory of the 6-4 favourite in the seven-furlong Group Three event, won by Ballydoyle's Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand three years ago, came at the right time. The son of Johannesburg quickened nicely to win by three-quarters of a length.
